The Greater Delhi Area Chamber of Commerce celebrated the start of summer with its Summer Mixer Happy Hour on Tuesday, June 24th. Held in the charming courtyard at This & That, the event brought together local business owners, community leaders, and friends for an evening of connection, celebration, and appreciation.
Each quarter, the Chamber hosts a mixer to honor a standout business, event, or community leader with a Star Award. This summer, the spotlight was on Faiga Brussel, founder of Good Cheap Food. Established in 1976 as a small buying club, Faiga's store has since become a beloved Main Street institution in Delhi. Surrounded by friends, family, and admirers, Faiga received the Community Business Award in recognition of her decades of entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to the local community.
The Chamber also proudly presented Pellegrino Grant Awards to The Lost Bookshop and Ninth of June. These grants support visual and cosmetic improvements that enhance the beauty and appeal of the Greater Delhi Area.
This event marked the final mixer presided over by outgoing Chamber President Lisa Wisely, who is stepping down from the board to focus on her business and upcoming film projects. The Chamber also welcomed incoming President Jerry Pellegrino, who will continue to build on the Chamber's momentum and commitment to the Delhi business community.
With delicious food and cocktails by Matt Marchese, lively conversation, and perfect weather, the Summer Mixer was a tremendous success. Thank you to everyone who joined us!
